**VIDEO** My '16GT PP 6MT on Switzerland's Furkapass

Work got in the way of editing this last bit of film from my Switzerland Alpine adventure. Withoutout further ado, here is my video from the Furkapass. Enjoy:

EDIT: I ran into copyright issues with the music, so here it is again with modified tunes:

You have any issues with the noise police there? When I rode through with my Harley I got stopped three times and lectured for 20-min. each time. All I did was drill out the stock muffler baffle diverter thing, it was barely louder than stock.

Very nicely done & beautiful country...............

Nice video. The bicyclists are pretty brave. I'm sure I wouldn't be riding on that road.

No issues at all, but then again I didn't see any police or lecturing civilian types. Lucky for me there was a new Corvette and a Nissan GTR racing up and down the Furka together while I was there...good smoke screen for my relatively tame Mustang.

I like the passing, scenery, and sounds.

Great video such nice scenery

Oooooooooooh.....so close.

Take a page from Steve McQueen's book and kill the music, it's like nails on a chalk-board.

Why people insist on adding crappy music to beautiful videos is beyond me. The sound of the engine & exhaust is all that is needed.

Nice try....I couldn't get through the whole video though. Music completely kills the experience.

I appreciate all of the feedback thus far. Music always seems to be a debated topic; bottom line is that my kids and I have fun watching the videos with random royalty-free techno bits. For the non-music folks, I bring you this:

I got lucky, for sure, on getting a clean run on the 1st go.

Of course, it's not always like that for me...my Transfăgărășan run #4 had a herd of ~200 sheep cross the road at 0545 in the morning. Sheep dogs crossed my path a few times after that. Interesting times.

Agreed 100%. If you want to be more shocked, here is photo evidence of an old man crushing Romania's Trans***arasan Highway. I spoke with him, and told him he rocked, but the language barrier brought only a crude stare in reply addle:

Mike, Very cool ! I checked out your videos well done.

I really appreciate that [MENTION=7579]Sig556[/MENTION]. I see you live in NC; any plans on tackling the Tail of the Dragon any time soon?
